Summary
Mike Pedersen is a Senior Software Engineer based in Aarhus, Denmark, with 14 years of experience building backend systems for high-volume log and observability platforms. He has been a core backend engineer on the Humio platform through its acquisition by CrowdStrike, focusing on scalable ingestion, storage, and query handling for large datasets. With an MSc in Computer Science from Aalborg University and early experience teaching algorithms and compilers, he combines solid academic foundations with practical, production-grade engineering. Mike thrives on data-heavy problems and has a track record of shipping robust server-side features in Java, Scala, and related ecosystems.
